IMIROVEMENT IN GUTTER-HEADS FOR DRESSING MOULDINGS.

T0 ALL WI-IOM IT MAY OONOERN:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH TEMPLE, of Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo, and in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tools for Cutting Moulding; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Inv the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A A represent a series of collars, which are made of suitable thickness and diameter, and flat upon their sides, so as to iit 'closely and snugly together when desirable. These collars are fitted up'on a shaft or arbor, and secured in any known and usual way, and are provided with the teeth B B. The edges ot' the teeth are made sharp, so as to cut readily, and of various suitable shapes, as seen, so that when several of the collars are placed together side by side, they will form a ,headv with teeth for cutting mouldings in any desired shape.

Figure 3 represents a. series of .these collars, placed together for cutting mouldings.

The advantage of this arrangement and construction is, that by combining the collars in various ways, di'ercnt-shaped mouldings may be made, and then the cutting-edges can be sharpened until the teeth are used Y up, and the same shape of moulding preserved, so that they may be always made to correspond, when desirable,

or made to match.

What I claim as new, is A moulding-cutter composed of a series of revolving disks, cach one of which hason its cutting-edge the form ofthe section of the moulding to be out, the several disks thnt'form the series so arranged that, as awhole, they form a complete cutter to cut the moulding, all constructed to operate substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 15th day of June, 1867.
